It gives me great pleasure to announce RACHAEL ESTROP as the winner of the the 2014/15 Winter Grand Prix Series
An ever present in the series, Rachael ran in four races, volunteered in the other two and accumulated a points tally of 671.
But as well as topping the final points table, Rachael also saw her 5k time come tumbling down on a monthly basis.
In the first race of the series Rachael clocked 25.40. This was followed by times of 25.25 (race 4), 24.35 (race 5) and a time of 24.19 in the final race of the series. Well done Rachael.
Overall, there were 305 participants in the series, with Race 1 attracting the largest attendance of 126 runners.
The fastest male member during the series was MARC FENWICK, who recorded a time of 15:28 in race 3, while fastest female member was JOANNE LEE, posting a time of 18.54 in race 2. (NB. Aly Dixon, running as a guest in race 6, set a new female course record of 16.49).

As ever, huge thanks to all the members who volunteered during the series.
Competitions like the Winter Grand Prix couldn’t survive if it wasn’t for members willing to give their time and effort to help out the club.
In an attempt to share the volunteering duties around the club, the race committee implemented a new rule for this series, whereby members had to volunteer at least once during the winter series in order to take part in the following summer series. And by and large it worked out well, with some members volunteering for the very first time and actually enjoying the experience (even if it did get a bit chilly along the Quayside at times ).
So again, many thanks to all the members who helped in 2014/15.
